Ditch quilting finished...........

I finished the ditch quilting on my floral colorwash yesterday afternoon.  On the back is one of those prints that I never found a use for and it is perfect for this little quilt.  The quilting shows on the back but on the front it is mostly not seen.

On my design wall by the sewing machine is the older project waiting for all of the new pieces to be pressed.  I remember where I got stalled on the project many years ago.  I couldn't decide whether to make it an all diagonal pattern or change the direction into a barn raising or zig zag pattern.  

Next I have started cutting pieces for Bear Paw blocks.  I cut 5" strips for myself when I made the fall fabric packs for my pop-up shop plus I had a lot of leftovers from the half hexagon quilt shown here.  Some blocks will be all scrappy and some will have matched pieces.  There will be blues and greens mixed in as I work on it....which will be sporadic and when I feel like working on it.

The block at the bottom (click on photo for a larger view) is my test block for the spiderweb Accuquilt GO die.  I just used batik scraps for my trial block.  It might end up in the orphan block box....or I might make more blocks with scraps for a table runner.
